I can’t believe that we are at the end of the road in The Phoenix Pack Series. And what a fantastic journey it has been.

Mila Devereaux and Pallas cat is contemplating an arranged mating and moving all the way to Russia. Her cat is peeved and needs healing but going all the way to Russia seems a bit extreme. But a certain wolf will get in her way.

I really liked Mila, SW once again gives us an awesome and kickarse heroine and yet not the same cookie cutter that you would expect after all 8 books.

Dominik “Lothario” Black his second name says it all really. He has his reasons and he never led the women on he was always straight up front about everything. But sometimes for me personally it was hard to read about all his conquests. He is the last wolf standing in the Phoenix Pack.

Good thing Mila is so sure about herself and has good self-confidence.

I also really liked Dominik there is a darker side to him but sometimes I wasn’t always on board with his opinions and attitude. He can charm a nun out of her habit. He is the master of every situation and strong and for me an alpha-hole.

These two sure do have chemistry and at the beginning I felt that was all they had. Mila sure did make him work for it though so there is that. I think these two did suit one another.

SW never writes boring plots and it always unique, entertaining and like being part of a family. Here once again it was no different. The pace was perfect in this one so no complaints from me there.

In the end I can say that this series has had great development it never felt stagnate in any way or form. A must read for every single book. So if you haven’t started the series you are missing out.
The last book in the Mercury Pack shall be out this year and then the next Dark in You. What else are you going to bring us SW?

I enjoyed this book and was excited to finally see Dominic met his match. I Liked seeing his mate stand up and turn his cheesy pick up lines back on him. Their story followed the typical format of a nondescripts not forming until people were near death, but that was expected. I enjoyed how the characters stayed true to themselves, yet compromised to make their relationship work. I also loved the epilogue, so we could seesaw everyone's family turned out, even through it was bittersweet.

This book was everything. Funny, sexy and action packed. I love the shifter in this series. This was so satisfying and full of awesome characters.

Mila and Dom were not who I was expecting for each other but they really feel perfect. They're not true my
mates but that doesn't always matter in this universe. Dom has really grown since we first met him. He's still a silly man child but he can also be serious at times.

I really love the books in this series but often have to be in the mood for them. The author has a template for the books in which the hero tends to be annoying and the heroine gives him an appropriate nickname. With the first in the series, I thought the nickname was cute. Ie Flintstone, Popeye. You get the idea. With each subsequent book and nickname, I think it's less cute. It's actually my major issue with the series. I don't mind a nickname if it fits. But not every woman is going to nickname their guy, especially these strange or silly nicknames. I feel the author found something that worked and never thought to go beyond that. Because of this opinion, I usually have to wait awhile before I can read the next book or reread the series. Does this effect my review. Yes, I'm taking 1 star away from an otherwise wonderful book because the nicknames knock me out of the plot. It's a personal opinion and one you may not agree with. I still very much recommend the series and the book. You will love the authors unique take on shifters.

What a great finale book! I have been a huge fan of this series since the first book and I am a little sad to see it end. I know the characters will be making cameos in her other series but I will miss their stories. Luckily I can re-read them whenever I want.

This book is about Dominic, the last Enforcer of the pack that hasn't mated. Throughout all the books he has been a comic relief character with corny lines and always happy to bounce from woman to woman with no interest in anything long term. We find out so much about his character that was never even hinted at before, for reasons that make sense, and I loved how his story played out. We get all the characters from the Phoenix Pack that we know and love plus more characters are introduced that I believe will be in a later series.

I really enjoyed how this book was so different from the others. All the enforcers have found love in different ways and Dominic is no different. When he meets Mila he thinks at first it will be his usual one night stand deal. When she quickly r=turns him down he has to re-evaluate his plan. It was a lot of fun to watch them circle each other before they finally get together. There is a lot of time spent with the characters, building their relationship and growing together. They each are fighting their own demons and have to lean on each other a bit.

Overall I was not disappointed in this series conclusion. I am looking forward to reading more in this world with new shifters.

I’m so glad we finally got Dominic’s book. He’s a much deeper, layered character then expected since in all the other books he was always portrayed as a jokester. The author always writes strong heroines and this was no exception. Another great book in the series!

Amazing!!!! Once again you have done a great job with this series. I couldn't stop reading I stayed up all night because I had to know what was going to happen. Beautifully written. Great job!

I love everything Suzanne writes and "Untamed delights" wasn't different. The writing was, like always, great and fast paced. We finally get Dominic's story. We also get to know him better and understand about why he does some things. The story was engaging and the main characters chemistry was off the charts hot.
Well done Suzanne!

I’m so glad Dominic finally got his book. This was a very good ending to the series and I will miss this series very much!

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

I have read every book in this series and am sad to see it end but I will say the author definitely went out with a bang. The characters felt genuine, the dialogue was her usual blend of witty and emotional and the complicated back story of both leads made for a very rich read.

This is the one PNR series that I recommend to everybody because even though it's about werewolves and other super natural creatures - ultimately it's about friendship and love.

I was so delighted to obtain an ARC from NetGalley.
❤🧡❤🧡❤
I have been eagerly awaiting this book and it had absolutely no problems at all living up to my expectations. 👍
Will be writing a totally non-objective review very soon.😋

4.5++ stars.
Suzanne Wright is one of those few authors that I will drop whatever I am currently reading or about to start in favor of reading her latest release. This book being a case in point. I have a tendency to devour her books only coming up for air when I reach the final pages.

I know many readers have probably wondered how she would portray Dominic's story in this, the last of the Phoenix Pack series and she totally nailed it IMO. So true to character.

Dominic has directed many cheesy pick-up lines towards the female love interests of his male pack-mates over the last seven books so it is no surprise to find out here that they are all more than happy to return the favor once he becomes involved with Mila (a cat shifter and hands down one of SW's best female characters ever- absolutely adored her).
The fact that they weren't true mates only made their relationship more special in my opinion and I really loved them together. Sigh!!!

Though Suzannes Wright's books do tend to follow a set and distinct formula storywise which I also personally enjoy, I really felt that the relationship between these two was the shining star here and the action took a little bit more of a backseat for me.

I would definitely be a lot sadder about this final Phoenix Pack story if Suzanne didn't have another wolf shifter series that she is still currently adding on to (The Mercury Pack) plus there is also going to be another "Dark in You" series release in July. Yippee!!!
I totally see rereads in my future though.

Suzanne Wright delivers another winner in her Phoenix Pack series. This novel is filled with just the right amount of action, suspense, humor, and love. It explores the fated mates trope with a new twist. Great read!

5 stars

Everyone's favourite naughty wolf shifter finally got his own book! And who would have guessed that the adorable, cheesy goofball that is Dominic had more layers than a 10 layer chocolate cake?!Or that his mate would be a cutely vicious pallas cat?!

I don't know why I thought that Dominic's book would be more lighthearted and cheesy. Maybe because he is the King of cheesy pick up lines and has throughout 7 books been the one to tease and infuriate his pack mates, the one that made them smile. So, when I got more layers than I expected I was literally ecstatic! He is not the one dimensional horny cheeseball we know but so much more. We saw so many sides of him in this book that his image has been forever changed in my mind. And I loved it! And to top it all off SW made him into an awesome dirty talker too! That was like the frosting on an already delectable cake.

His chosen mate, a pallas cat shifter Mila Devereaux was the most subtle of perfect matches. Their compatibility and suitableness wasn't in your face but rather unfolded during the book. And despite me tending to like the true matches more, I can't deny that in this book SW made me love the imprinted couples so much more. Mila is part of the pallas cat pack we met in Madisyns book (Echoes of Fire, The Mercury Pack #4) and we got to see a lot more of them in this one. So much more that I really hope we get a spin-off for them. Or the other side of her family, the Russian wolverines.

Their getting together wasn't instant and I loved that too. They both had issues and both had to chose to be with each other. And of course SW doesn't make it easy on either of them. Add a crazy fling and her delusional father from Dominic's past and Mila's true mate that has imprinted on someone else and everything takes on a dangerous edge.

I think I'm running out of words to say how much I love this author and her storytelling. Her formula is fantastic and is always a winner for me. I cannot recommend her enough. From this series to her Dark In You series and Deep In Your Veins she has continually surprised and pleased me. I'm sad that we got to the end of the Phoenix Pack series but we got a lovely epilogue. Also I'm sure that I will love whatever she decides to write next.

I was given an ARC by Net galley and the Publisher for an honest review.

On "Untamed Delights", the 8th book in "The Phoenix Pack" series, Mila and Dominic are our main characters.

Mila is phallus cat who works at the family barber shop by day and sings at the velvet lounge that is owned by the mercury pack .She is going through some things and is conflicted because she has met her destined mate who already has imprinted on someone else. Mila has to make a decision if she can stay and watch her destined mate carry on with another or leave the pack and enter a arrange mating suggested by her uncle..
Mila is strong, kick ass woman and is perfect for Dominic who never judged him on his past and gave him the love ,understanding and patience which is exactly what he needed.

Dominic is the Phoenix pack enforcer, Joker, outrageous flirt and lover of cheesy lines. Most of the males of wrights books go through some thing traumatic in their life which makes them what they are and that too has shaped Dominic in a way, He has a deep rooted issues that make him wary of any relationships and was surprised by his possessiveness and his need to be with her which did cause some back and forth for them along with Mila's need to keep her distance since she knew of his reputation.

There was a bit of suspense added in the mix and some issues that popped up for both Mila and Dominic but they as a unit faced these challenges and come out better at the end.This story started out great but fell a little flat where the mystery was concerned. We get to see most of the mercury pack along with the phoenix pack in this book with the added introduction of most of Olympus clan that we will be hopefully seeing more of in the future.

Ms Wright has finished this book beautifully with a great epilogue to end this part of a series.


Thank you to Net galley and the Publisher for the chance to read this ARC.

As soon as Dominic hit my kindle I dropped whatever I was doing to dive in and start reading.
I was not disappointed. Really liked Dom with Mila and how they balanced each other out. I loved their beginning and how Dom chased Mila since that was new to him.
Untamed Delights has everything I love in Suzanne Wrights books; alpha male, strong heroine, great family dynamics and angst.

Only thing that stopped me from giving Untamed Delights five stars was the over the top drama, sadly it was too much for me.

Otherwise I really enjoyed it, and as always I'm already dying to get my hands on another one of Suzanne Wrights books.

I have been anticipating Dominics book since i first read Feral Sins and i had been counting down the days until i could get my hands on Untamed Delights. But once i had it, i really struggled getting started reading it knowing that this book was the end to a series that i absolutely adore. Plus with how badly i wanted to read this story i had worried how the book would hold up compared to my expectations and i have to say it was so much better than i could ever have imagined. Once i started reading it, I was not able to put it down, i loved it that much!

As always, Suzanne Wright outdid herself with this beautiful story. Throughout this series, Dominic has always been one of my favorite characters, and finally having the opportunity to read his story has been amazing and a fantastic ending to the Phoenix Pack Books. I really enjoyed learning about Dominic's back story, something that has always remained a mystery and it really allowed the reader to understand what makes him tick and act the way he does.

Untamed Delights follows shortly after Echoes of Fire (Bracken & Madisyns story) and is the story of Dominic the remaining unmated Phoenix Pack enforcer and Mila a Pallas Cat shifter from the Olympia pride. Not only did the book beautifully wrap up the Phoenix Pack Series but it offered a fantastic introduction into the crazy world of the Olympia Pride. And for fun we also got to meet an entire new breed of crazy shifters that im hoping we get to read more about...wolverine's!

I found Mila to be perfect for Dominic, she let his many cheesy lines just roll off her and offered the steady presence that he required. While i dont want to give away any details, i will say that they had to fight for their happily ever after and the personal growth and obstacles these characters had to overcome made the story that much more special. Mila and Dominic's relationship is unique to them and really worked in a way we haven't seen before.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romances and especially anyone who is a fan of Suzanne Wrights other books. I rate this 5 out of 5 Stars!!

Suzanne Wright is an extremely talented author who pulls you so deeply into her stories that you just crave more. And she is one of the very few authors that i can honestly say that not only have i read everything shes published, but ive loved every single book and cant wait to see what else she comes up with.

Full review to be published online in late July.

UNTAMED DELIGHTS is the eighth book in the popular ‘Phoenix Pack’ series by Suzanne Wright. In this book we finally get to delve into what makes Dominic tick and his reasons for being such a relationship-phobe while entertaining tons and tons of women for one-night-stands only. We also meet Mila - a half Russian pallas cat shifter just home from yet another visit to Russia where her mother is from (Who is a wolverine shifter). She works at the family barber shop by day and sings at the velvet lounge on Friday nights (owned by the mercury pack). She’s also kind of dejected because she has to share her pack with her one true mate who has imprinted on her cousin. Her mate has no idea that Mila was made for him and is blissfully in love with another woman but can’t help but always want to be around Mila, and Mila can’t take the close proximity anymore so she is set to enter and arranged mating with someone in Russia. Which means she is also moving despite no one wanting her to go.

One night, as she’s singing, Dominic notices her. Like really notices her. And he’s attracted. But she knows his reputation and wants nothing to do with that. Of course Dominic isn’t deterred and begins to pursue her. But Mila sticks to her guns, not wanting to be a notch on his bedpost. Plus there are a lot of outside characters that are trying to discourage Mila or keep Dominic away.

Another good story in a series that is still holding up well.

For a fan of the whole fated mates trope in paranormal romance, this was wasn't for me. I felt like the author re-wrote the rules and left a lot of gray areas. Dominic is still an amazing character but I was left feeling kind of sad that his fated mate was left hanging in the end. After seeing the repercussions of Adele and Joel's imprinting, things always had that sad melancholy feel to it for me.

It was a good story but it felt like way too much was jammed together and none of it was really all that interesting. I gave it an extra star because if nothing else, stick around for one of the cutest epilogues ever! The whole gang is back and you literally get to see everyone! It was probably my favorite part of the book! An adorable way to end the series.

Finally the one I've been waiting for! Brilliant as always I love this book/series/world it feels real and the characters feel real which is great. With this series you kind of know what to expect if follows a formula but I love it, you go in knowing what to expect but at the same time each story is its own and it keeps me wanting more.

For Dominic's story I'm kind of glad he stayed true to who he has been shown to be in the other books and his background story line just wasn't as predictable as I was imagining it to be so that was nice.

It had a nice wrap up to it that lets you in vision the future of their pack. I know when I read a Suzanne Wright book I'm going to love what I get, It hasn't failed me yet. So I'm excited to finish with the Mercury Pack series and the Dark In You and can't wait to keep an eye out for more!

Awesome read! Dominic and his cheesy lines kept me shaking my head and laughing. The "No sweetheart I just blew you a kiss with my ass" had me laughing out loud. This smoking hot read had me swinging back and forth between the list of possible had guys. So many options but not one I suspected. I love this author's books. She never fails to bring excitement to the table.
